Ed Orgeron Says WR Stephen Sullivan Has Switched Positions

By Staff Reporter•Jul 31, 20192:57 pm•

LSU Sports - MG Miller

The Stephen Sullivan tight end experiment is back on...

Sullivan, a former four-star wide receiver from Donaldsonville, LA is now playing tight end for the Tigers and is up to 250-pounds, according to Ed Orgeron. Sulivan is listed at 6'7" on LSU's roster page.

The Tigers experimented with Sullivan playing tight end last season during practice in order to help with depth issues but Sullivan remained with the receivers as the season went on.

Orgeron, who spoke at the Rotary Clubs on Wednesday, also added that LSU's wide receiver position is the strongest group on the team.

This could be a really good thing for him come draft time next year.

“Our tight ends are not glorified tackles anymore.”

lol

I know, right? It’s awesome.

This is what we have been waiting for.

I want this to happen so bad. Him rolling down the middle with his hand up against some 5 foot 11 safety

Exactly......

Genestealer55•86 months

This is not surprising...I feel sorry for defenses trying to defend this guy at TE

BayouTiga•86 months

Put the ball at One O'clock and not DB can cover!

bhtigerfan•86 months

Does this mean we’re actually going to throw passes to a TE? Is that legal?

gwilging•86 months

I'm pretty sure it's at least a misdemeanor

OceanMan•86 months

TE was our second leading receiver past 2 seasons

TNTigerman•86 months

Petty larceny.

SouthernInsanity•86 months

Hope it sticks and sure they can use TEs that actually dress out.

Big Sway•86 months

That's one big dude!

TaderSalad•86 months

Sounds like he's found the jugs machine

Finally. I was wondering if this would have ever happened since he's been here. This was a more natural fit for him IMO.

Hope this dude shines his final season especially at Tight End. He is a mismatch nightmare that I feel has been underutilized so far in his career. Always remember that end around on 4th and goal vs Auburn when we were down and deperate for a score a few years ago. They dug deep in the playbook for that one and he had to break a tackle to score.

I also believe Trey Palmer is going to go beast mode in 2020. He was my 3rd favorite WR out of the 2019 WR class overall.

pforgetiger•86 months

If he would have played DE, he would already be in the NFL!

preferredwalkon•86 months

He was an absolute beast a D'Ville. I agree. High school tapr really shows his potential at DE. LSU had huge need at wide receiver that recruiting cycle though

...and further away rolls my dream of hearing "Stephen King, on the Carrie."

ForeverEllisHugh•86 months

Ouch, the glorified tackles shot at Les wasn’t really necessary.

BayouTiga•86 months

Who is Les.........Geaux Coach 'O'.

JohnnyU•86 months

He is just trying to instill confidence and send a new message. It about perception, recruiting and a changing of the scheme. However, it's on target so, if the truth hurts, so be it.

The guy that now coaches another team?
